A Song for the Twentieth Century

The Standard with contributions from JOHN RUSKIN

Just to be tender, just to be true;
Just to be glad the whole day through;
Just to be merciful, just to be mild;
Just to be trustful as a child;
Just to be gentle and kind and sweet;
Just to be helpful with willing feet;
Just to be cheery when things go wrong;
Just to drive sadness away with song;
Whether the hour is dark or bright,
Just to be loyal to God and right;
Just to believe that God knows best;
Just in His promises ever to rest;
Just to let love be our daily key—
This is God's will for you and me.

The Standard.

Economy no more means saving money than spending money. It means spending and saving, whether time or money, or anything else, to the best possible advantage.

JOHN RUSKIN.
